I think he's got ibuprofen confused with epinephrine.

They'd better have gotten that shit in writing. With a penalty payment for when the GOP fails to deliver.

Democrats ran the table on Tuesday at state and local levels, getting not just its base excited but β€œnormies” fed up over the last 10mo, so of course national Democrats want to do everything to pop the air in the balloon.

At this point, it’s clear that the Hamburglar, Dr Evil, and Sideshow Bob are advising Chuck Schumer.

They wouldn't, but don't expect logic that starts from facts out of MAGA types. They think "USA #1!!!" in all things - including healthcare - no matter the evidence to the contrary.

Ostensibly: saving tax dollars by not letting people who can't pay for their own medical care into the country. Really: most likely eugenics (and the racism inherent in eugenics); 2nd most likely Trump wanting to see his name in the news more and/or get praise from his base.

"Let's enjoy bsky for another 6 months, it's approaching the end" Okay,so who is building the next worthwhile mostly text-based microblogging platform? Or are we finally going to give Mastodon a chance to thrive?

Rude of the mods to think I can't tell when someone is being rude, and make my own decision regarding whether to merely ignore them or use BlueSky's tools to mute or block them.

Republicans are allergic to reality.

it's pretty much a hard rule now: if a widget that could still be done manually, let alone without electricity, yet requires network connectivity outside the house as part of its core function, then it doesn't belong in the house

time to say no to all this fragility

Surprise, surprise: the owner (Jeff Bezos, also founder and head honch at Amazon) got in bed with fascists a little TOO obviously and now that business is failing. "Get woke, go broke"? Nope. Go fasc, lose cash!

I'm all for Gritty putting in an appearance to fuck up a constitutional convention.

I don't think so. I know how to zipper merge and I learned to drive in upstate NY.

You know, we have for nearly 50 years taken it for granted that it is indeed fun to stay at the YMCA, and yet this popular assertion is back only by a single, non-rigorous, musical anecdote, I propose it is time for a study with a control group, which stays at a Holiday Inn Express

Don’t get me wrong, it continues to be very scary that the Trump administration keeps desperately trying to create Reichstag fires and Horst Wessel Power Hours, it’s just also very noticeable that they somehow keep failing to stick the landing.

He thinks they're willing to come back? At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if Hyundai pulled a Suzuki and straight up stopped selling cars in the US in retaliation for how we've treated their workers.

I suspect that's more colleges than there are in the US, total. Not sure where to get reliable, understandable numbers on that, though.

I wonder how different "compromise" is from "giving in" in this case...

I found a couple of pictures that have you in black slacks, white shirt, and tie! Maybe I'm misremembering that you had a suit jacket as well? Are you okay with me scanning and posting them?

I wonder if I could dig up that picture of you in a suit from our college days... You looked pretty great!

There's a huge value in "people who specialize in backups and hardware upgrades are responsible for them," though. That's all that cloud solutions are, at their heart. They didn't need to be advertised nearly as hard as "AI" is being advertised because they actually solve a real business issue.

I figured this out 20+ years ago with movies: if the marketing is relentless while it's in theaters, it's because they need to make their money back while it's in theaters - the movie is terrible and the DVD is gonna sell around 30 copies, total.

Well, he's right about the machines: areas that use ES&S machines tend to see Republicans over performing compared to exit polls...and their results aren't auditable.

She's got a surprisingly long IMDB page for someone I'd never heard of until some jackass said that her boobs were "going to destroy woke".
